Bottle from Systembolaget. Pours deep amber. with a small/medium thich white/off-white head. Notes of pine, yeast, dried fruits, alcohol, honey and malt. Sweet, but not as sweet as many other barley wines, more lika a DIPA with a light bitterness.

Quite bland and not what I hoped for. Supposed to be a Barley Wine but I don't see that. Some caramel and honey but nothing special. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Flavor is malty, bready, fruity, bitter and perry. Finishes malty bitter. Not a BW imho and I’ll rate the beer as a BW. But a good beer, more like a malty IPA.

Bottled from Systembolaget dec-11 Amber with a bubbly head. Some hair-salon in the aroma. Mashy notes in the flavour. Medmium dry bitterness. Too alcoholic.
